This a family that has a show on TLC and zack, his mother, and father have achondroplasia
Zach is in the green shirt by his mother who has an arm around zack and his father.
This makes life hard for them.
Zack's father has a special thing in his car so he can reach the pedal, which is cool because now he can drive a normal sized car to help his family get around. These people have to go through surgrey every now and then to keep them going ( zach, his mother and father .)
This crazy little stuntman from the series of "Jacka" is WEEMAN.
Most of you know him from his fantastic and funny stunts.
But some people also just know him because of his disease called achondroplasia.
His achondroplasia is why he is so smalll, his bones grow to be smaller then normal. Wouldn't you think that the stuff Weeman does is hard period, but to do those thing as a small unnormal boned human... if you think about it is crazy.
This disease is actually common.
achondroplasia is a short limbed dwarfism and is related to a genetic mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene.
A website eMEDtv.com says there are two possible causes of achondroplasia, and one is a genetic mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 gene located on chromosome 4. The second cause is the condition can be inherited from a parent that has this disease (achondroplasia).
achondroplasia is a bone disorder and how the bones grow differently in the human body, which the bones grow very small compared to a normal boned human. Achondroplasia can not be cured or prevented.. You inherit this from your parents if they have Achondroplasia themselves.
